Pay TV In The Sixties
Sky Television were not the first in the UK to offer Pay-Tv
Nearly 40 years ago, a
company called Pay Television Limited
started broadcasting via cable in London and after a period of time,
extended its operation
to Sheffield.
I personally remember,
as a child, seeing the programme listing for Pay-Tv
in the London Evening News. I was quite fascinated by this, next to each programme
was the price, e.g feature film 7/6d, documentary 3/6d
and I vividly remember the Election Results programme in 1966 was offered
at no charge
When Pay-Tv was extended
to Sheffield the service was opened by
The Right Hon. Ted Short, the Postmaster General
